The attendee of this webcast will learn about a proven process that Larry English has developed for ensuring data quality in any organization.

Live Webcast: How to Avoid Virtualization Gotchas 2006-11-11 01:00:15 Acronis

Server virtualization is hot, and for good reason. Virtualization enables computers to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical server.

Hardware resources can be consolidated onto fewer servers

IT organizations can scale their server resources

IT staff resources can be deployed more efficiently

Legacy applications can be redeployed to virtual machines, extending application life and increasing performance

Security can be improved when the operating system doesn't communicate directly with the host

So join this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Acronis and featuring live Q&A, to learn how you can avoid a variety of virtualization "gotchas." Pre-register today!
